After initial training and waiting for the last F-106 to leave I assigned and aircraft from Eglin AFB arriving to Tyndall (Aircraft 75-0060) the 60th FS Commanders aircraft. On final approach it had an ESC problem causing it to IFE. When it landed it was damaged to the point of requireing extensive repair. I had to wait for the next aircraft to come from Eglin (Aircraft 75-0080). I was on this aircraft until my departure to Kunsan AB Korea

I never had formal training on the F-16 and for first week in country I was trained. I got my first F-16 (which was at a compitition and had a cool paint job). The base was charged 500 points for the wrong paint type on the centerline tank.

Was part of the Cadre team bing F-16's to Pope AFB. First Composite Wing. Was there on the tragic day the F-16 hit the C-141. It was not my aircraft, it was the other D model. I went into Phase with my aircraft and stayed there until my departure in September

Made Master when I got back from Korea and took over the APG Flight. Moved up to Pro Super when I sowed on the stripe. Within 6 months I was moved to the 77th for the Lead Super Job. Stayed with the 77th until the return of OIF and went to the 79th for the Lead Super position. when I made SMSgt they moved me over to the Assistant NCOIC position and I stayed there for a few months before they sent me to Iraq. On my return I got order to Kirtland AFB for the F-35 project and I was moved over to stnd up Alert again until I leave in January.
